I want to take my fx4 to a new level...looking for advice on suspension etc

Do you have a budget in mind?
There are a lot of lift kits available but if you want to take it to the " Next Level " like you mentioned, we have our prerunner kit that is great for a daily driver and if you decide to take it on trails and the desert!
In the end, it'll come down to how you are going to use the truck and how much you want to spend.
PM, email or call me with any questions!

I just updated my truck. Here is a 2014 STX 4x4 Supercrew with Fox 2.0 front coilovers set at 2" level, plus rear Fox 2.0 shocks (stock height). I have Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/70/18 tires on 18x9 Black Rhino Mint +12 offset wheels. 3.55 gears; 5.0L V8 with the SCT x4 tuner and Stage 3 Motorsports 87 performance/tow tune. No rubbing in this setup as it is, however the front valance is really close. I will likely trim the valance a tiny bit just to give it some breathing room and also remove my front air dam for general appearance's sake. I'll go to a N-fab nerf step on this and remove the stock stepbar next.
Note the closeup pic of the tire is before the Fox rear shocks were mounted. The pics of the full truck are post-Fox 2.0 mounting.
The truck rides great so far. E-load tires are what they are on a 1/2 ton truck...it won't ever be a stock smooth ride, but it is a 4x4 pickup afterall. I am running 45lbs air all around. If I tow a small travel trailer...will kick the back up to 50lbs.

Boost :)
A couple things to keep in mind when you do this. Notice the individual earlier with 20x9 +18 offset wheels and they fit a 305/55/20 without issue on a stock truck. That isn't going to happen in any way shape or form with a more aggressive offset.
As an example, this is my truck and my setup. BOSS Ultimate package coilovers. 20x9 w/ 0 offset ProComp wheels and 305/55/20 Toyo AT Xtreme tires.
Using the exact same size tire, but lifted up higher, I had to do a bit of trimming to make this all work. It is very minor but still had to do it. Fitment is great, tires have 15k on them now and are still perfect and I am very happy with the coilovers. Much more predictable ride and handles significantly better too.
